Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
This paper presents a comprehensive study for the contact laws between solid particles taking into account the effects of plasticity, strain hardening and very large deformation. The study takes advantage of the development of a so-called material point method (MPM) which requires neither remeshing for large deformation problems, nor iterative schemes to satisfy the contact boundary conditions. The numerical results show that the contact law is sensitive to impact velocity and material properties. The contact laws currently used in the discrete element simulations often ignore these factors and are therefore over-simplistic. For spherical particles made of elastic perfectly plastic material, the study shows that the contact law can be fully determined by knowing the relative impact velocity and the ratio between the effective elastic modulus and yield stress. For particles with strain hardening, the study shows that it is difficult to develop an analytical contact law. The same difficulty exists when dealing with particles of irregular shapes or made of heterogeneous materials. The problem can be overcome by using numerical contact laws which can be easily obtained using the material point method. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
